MOP-CLOTH HOLDER.

Application filed September 21, 1922. Serial No. 589,633.

To aZZ fio/tom t mayfcoacera:

Be it known that I, FRANK LESLIE CUN NiiNGr-IAM, a subject of the Kingor Great p Britain andlreland, and residing at 207 Alberta Corner, 1nthe city of Calgary,

Province ot Alberta, Dominion of Canada, having invented certain new anduseful lne provements in a Mop-Cloth Holder, do hereby declare thefollowingl to be a nlhclear, and exact `description ot the same.

My invention relates to iinprorenjicnts in a mop cloth holder in whichit is sought to grip the mop cloths so as to prevent `movement thereof,ythe grippiiigg,` members being such that they will `assist the passageot a wringer over the head of the cloth.

These objects I accomplish with the device illustrated in theaccompanying drawings in which- Fig. l is a perspective View of thefront ol.E the holder showing in dotted lines the securing plate in theopen position for placing the mop cloth.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing; in (lotn ted lines the mop cloth inplace.

Similar letters reiter to similar parts throughout the several Views:

A4 base plate a, has termed thereon at one end a handle socket o, whichsocket Ais adapted to receive a liamlle. The lower end oft the baseplate is recessed and has` the interior surface of the recess spla-yedoutwardly from the surfaces of the base plate as shown at c. Thesesplayed sur- 'accs assist a wringer member to pass from the base plateon to the mop cloth as the outer edges of the splayed members rest uponthe cloth. Pinned upon the base plate adjacent the splayed portion is aclamping plate (Z, the pinned joint on one side of the base plate being`in a slot e, and on the other side being` detachable as shown at ,'F.

lt will be seen that the clampinp` plate (Z, may be released from thebase plate o, on one side only a shown at y, and will pivot in the slotc, to the other side. illy. this means access is obtained to the recessin the base plate and the cloth g, maybe readily placed therein. Oncethe cloth is placed in the slot recess and the clamping member Z isfastened to the plate a, the cloth is held by contact bet-Ween the loweredges or the splayed surfaces c, and the inner edge of the plate al.

Having thus described my invention what ll claim is:

A mop holder comprising a plate provided with a handle receiving socketat one end thereof, the opposite end of said` `plate being provided witha rectangular recess, said plate being provided with a plurality oislits extending into said recess,

and the alternative portions of the plate bel tween said slits beingbent forwardly and rearwardly lo torni a jaw, a clamping jaw pivoted tothe portion of said plate Atormingg one side oi' the .recess7 and meanscarried by the portion of the plate forming the other side or' therecess for detachably retaining said pivoted jaw in clamping position. p
